An Open Letter To People Who Write Open Letters

"To whom it may concern,

Terrible job.

Sincerely,

Jere"

That aside, I'll still write one:

"Dear New York Metropolitans Baseball Club,

Seriously. Sweep them. No messing around. Bobby Valentine is gone. So is Timo Perez. No excuses. Sweep. If I see the highlights on the scoreboard down in Philly tonight and the dude says, 'Three key Mets errors opened the door to a four-run yankee ninth, which tied the game before an inexplicable throw to the wrong base by Carlos Delgado allowed Johnny Damon to score the winning run while Derek Jeter celebrated from the dugout as if he actually contributed to the play,' I'm gonna be pissed.

Your biggest fan, when you play the yanks,

Jere"

Note: I just checked mets.com real quick, and I kid you not, Jeremi "fa sol la ti D'oh!" Gonzalez is starting for them tonight. Maybe 2 out of 3 then.

And I, Peter, will bring a little attention back to where our thoughts, heartfelt ones, should lie. And that is in Philly, where a "what are we going to get" Matt Clement tries to tame the cheese steak city's team. So that's where my thoughts lie, now, Friday afternoon. And tomorrow, Petey vs. Moose, go Petey. First things first, though.
